If useSELinux is not set, enable seccomp mode by default and avoid building the
SUID helper sandbox at all. This involves a small patch which causes the
commandline arguments to be swapped: --disable-seccomp-sandbox to disable it,
while the option is active by default.
It fetches the latest version based on the bucketlist XML from
commondatastorage and generates a "source.nix" which contains an attribute set
about where to fetch the latest version.
The XML is parsed in a somewhat hackish way using sed, but as this is just an
updater, its okay and we don't want to break a fly on the wheel by employing a
full XML parser.
This only gets chromium to build so far, installation is missing by upstream, so
we need to manually copy the corresponding files. And I guess with nix, we also
need to patch a few paths on installation.
Another issue is that at the moment, a lot of dependencies are used from the
source tree, rather than from the system.
Also, it would be nice to build using LLVM, as it really speeds up compilation a
*LOT* and also has the side effect of resulting in smaller binaries.
Working unit tests would be nice, too. Unfortunately they're quite heavyweight
and take hours to run, so I guess "someday" would be the most appropriate time
to integrate.
Further todo's:
- Allow to disable GConf, GIO and CUPS.
- Option to disable the sandbox (for whatever reason the user might have).
- Integrate gold binutils.
- Pulseaudio support.
- Clearly separate Linux specific stuff.
